Couples getting married at Blanco — a new event space in downtown San Jose — may like it because of its three levels, featuring indoor and outdoor spaces, or the blank, white walls that allow for colorful projections or decor. But they may not realize they’re getting hitched at a site that once housed a blacksmith’s shop and a carriage works.

That’s because while Blanco is a recent addition to San Pedro Square, the building has a history that goes back about 160 years.
